Day 2: Huanca Lluta, Pichrigma Canyon, Huambo, Mocurca Lagoon, Cabanaconde

After breakfast, we begin our journey to Pichrigma, a canyon with an elevation gain of over 1,000 meters. Pichrigma offers spectacular and colorful views. Small Inca-provincial villages can be seen perched on the mountains. Its inaccessibility, like its terraced fields, surrounds this dizzying canyon. Visit the village of Lluta. This route is truly spectacular, offering views of the Apus (mountain gods) Coropuna, Ampato, Solimana, Chachani, etc. You can also appreciate the Pedregal and the western range of the Andes, passing through different climate zones.
